Publications

Nile Sisters Development Initiative aims to be a source of free, reliable, current information about refugees and other vulnerable foreign-born populations. We frequently conduct community assessments to establish the qualitative and quantitative evidence for the most pressing of current refugee and immigrant issues. We also offer reports compiled by other university, governmental, health, and social services researchers whose information could benefit our client community. To request inclusion in our publication library, submit a request by email: info@nilesisters.org
